Updated pics

We go for our first appointment tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting our new doctor. She is still somewhat jaundice and lethargic. I find the first couple weeks so hard trying to wake them up for feedings etc..... Hopefully we'll have a good report for her weight. She is still in preemie outfits (size 5lbs). It's hard getting pics with her eyes open because her wakeful period is during the night :) She sleeps ALL day!

Baby debute

Here are some photos of our newest member :)

She's here!

We as so thankful for the safe arrival of Kayzia Anneliese! Born, Thursday the 12th at 8:25pm weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and 20.5 in.
As soon as we are home, I'll be sure to post some pictures :)
Thank you for all your prayers on our behalf!!

The plan

Our plan is to go into the hospital tomorrow morning for an induction at 6am. They may need to start off with Cervidal (which is a 12 hr process) before giving the pitocin to bring on contractions. So we could have baby girl Thursday evening or Friday morning. I know one person who is routing for Friday morning!! Please pray for me as I have come down with a cold :( Hubby had it last week and last night it hit me. I'm hoping this won't complicate the delivery in any way. Right now it is very mild so hopefully it will stay that way.

I think I can....

Eight more days to go.....oh boy! (I mean girl!) These last - hopefully few- days left are sure wearing me out. I am so ready for her to be here :) Praying that she comes sooner than later.

Praise!

Thank you for all your prayers! Baby is head DOWN!!! (well, for now....hahah) The technician says she looks pretty cramped in there so we pray she will stay down until delivery. My blood pressure has been fine this pregnancy, so the doctor is going to let me go into labor on my own (that is the plan for now). I'm hoping she won't go too far past her due date so hopefully within the next week and a half we will see her!
Thank you Lord for hearing and answering this prayer! We pray for a smooth delivery and healthy baby girl soon!

Baby update

I had an ultrasound today to check baby's growth. She is about 6 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches. She was head down at the beginning of the ultrasound and flipped to transverse by the end. Please pray baby will turn head down by my next appointment (next week). I don't want to end up with a c-section!!

32 weeks

Not much going on around here so I thought I would post a belly pic. This is week 32! I have an appointment tomorrow to check on her progress :) I'm sure getting exhausted these days!! Hopefully 7 1/2 weeks will go by quickly.

New babies

We've had 2 babies born to ladies at our church over the past week.....both boys. And I still have over 3 months to go........
It was funny today as I put our 2 youngest down for a nap. I laid down with our boy until he fell asleep and he said "hey, she's kicking me".....my belly was against his back :)

Quick update

Not much new going on around here. We did get the Christmas tree up. Our little miss has already been into the tree and broke one non-glass ornament. Our 4 yr old is not happy that his zebra now only has one leg!!
The kids were also able to feel baby sister move last night for the first time. I love how their eyes got so big when a kick was felt.
I've also been enjoying cooking and baking. I have made homemade chicken noodle soup twice now and it was delicious!!! I think we'll be making more banana bread today :)
I've done a little Christmas shopping online....I love that I don't need to be at the malls, just wait for the package to arrive at the door!
Here's a pic of the kids after they finished decorating the tree.....

The weekend

I made a cake for our Sunday afternoon fellowship. It was the anniversary of our Pastor and his wife. We had such an enjoyable afternoon despite how hot it was!!

Here are some pics of the girls before church in the morning. Oh how fast they are growing up!

What a mess!

I think this may be the longest I have waited before letting our child feed themself. Our almost 17 month old got to dive into her oatmeal this morning all by herself.....not so great since it ended with a broken bowl on the floor!
She switched back and forth between her left and right hand, so I'm not 100% sure that she is a righty yet. Time will tell.
It made for some cute photos though :)

Enjoying the outdoors!

and again.....

It's sounding awful over here! Child #2 is now on antibiotics. This is a horrible, deep down, chest cough (croupy, bronchitis type...worse than the barking seal sound). Child #3 is now showing signs.....I suspect a trip to the doctor probably towards the end of the week. This time I'm going to request specific tests to find out exactly what this is! Praying hubby and I don't come down with it!!

Sickness

Some pics from Saturday. She had fun playing outside (now that she keeps shoes on!!) Pray for us as we have sickness going through the house that need antibiotics. She has the first symptoms of it now too.

Another birdwatcher in the making

Guess who else I've got hooked.....hehehe

random photos

I don't only take pics of baby girl...but she seems to be the only one I can get to stay in one place long enough :)

Eat cake

Here are 2 cakes I did over the past 2 days. I have one more on Thursday for a bridal shower. Here are some pics also of baby girl's first birthday party. What fun!

Look at me go!

...and what did she do the day before her first birthday.....yay!!!

She's ONE!

I know it gets repetative BUT....how fast has this year gone!! I can't believe she is already a year old. Thinking back to this time last year is so special, not only because God gave us another beautiful blessing in our daughter, but how He orchestrated His plan for insurance, her birth, employment for hubby. What a time of growing and learning!

Here are some pics from today. Happy Birthday baby girl!
